Will you guarantee a green performance score?

No. Scores depend on the testing tool, network and device, and some factors sit with your hosting or required third-party scripts. I report measured before-and-after results under stated conditions instead.

Is hosting usually the problem?

Sometimes it is a large part of it, particularly on cheap shared hosting with a heavy platform. Diagnosis tells us whether to optimise the site, change the hosting, or both.

Does performance work affect SEO?

Page experience is one factor among many. Faster pages help users and can help search performance, but they do not substitute for relevant content and a sound site structure.

Website speed and performance

Website speed and performance work finds what is actually making your pages slow, fixes the parts worth fixing and measures the result under stated test conditions. It suits sites where slow product or landing pages are costing enquiries and sales.

When this helps

Problems this solves

Pages that take several seconds before anything useful appears.
Layout that jumps around while images and fonts load.
A plugin, script or tag stack nobody has audited.
Performance advice that was applied blindly and made no difference.

Scope

What's included

Every quote lists the deliverables in writing, so there is no ambiguity about what you receive.

Deliverables

Baseline measurement on agreed page types, with the test conditions recorded.
Diagnosis of the real bottlenecks: server response, render blocking, images, scripts or database queries.
Image, font and asset optimisation, including sizing, formats and loading priorities.
Caching and delivery review, covering platform caching and CDN configuration.
Third-party script and tag audit, with recommendations on what to defer or remove.
After measurement under the same conditions, with the before-and-after reported honestly.

Not included as standard

No specific score is promised; scores vary by test conditions and device.
Where hosting is the limiting factor, I say so rather than optimise around it indefinitely.
Removing marketing tags needs your approval, since it affects measurement.

Anything here can be added to the scope and priced separately.
